Can a Preg rabbit be next to a male rabbit?

I a have a preg rabbit that has never seen my other male rabbit I want the two cages to be next to each other but only when I let them outside to get some sun and grass, is it okay that they are next to each other or will the female wig out and when the babies are born eat thwm? She is due in a few days.Can a Preg rabbit be next to a male rabbit?
I would advise you not to change anything or introduce anything different or new to the mum. Especially during this crucial time. You are right that she can get nervous and eat the babies so keep them apart and if you have to let them out do it at different times and ensure the male doesn't go to the female's hutch, it will make her quite nervous.





When my 1st bunny was expecting she was really nervous because we kept disrupting her, looking in etc and she probably didn't feel safe due to the neighbour's cat so she killed them, I'm not sure how many she ate but we only found one dead and she had been doing laps around the hutch. The second time round things were different, she was in our shed (still in the hutch), she built her nest on her own and had her litter of six healthy bunnies. We could only tell by the movement in the nest even though it was fully covered, we didn't touch it. Hope it goes well for you.Can a Preg rabbit be next to a male rabbit?
dunno hun.
Keep them seperate. He might attack her, she might attack him and hurt herself. Keep them seperate till the babies are weaned. Then keep them seperate.
